I came here to post this. Glad to see it's where it needs to be.

The sound... the sound haunts my dreams

Yes. I am among the number that prefers it the way it is.

"I may not know much."

That is a complete sentence.

It could absolutely be implemented by Sync.

I will talk to rude people that harass the admins of a free service that way.

You fucking donkey, did you read their comment before you replied to it? They aren't doing it just because they want to; there are legal implications.

 

Would we hunt them?

Wait wait wait. Stop everything. I've found my post.

I too was like you. Every flimsy-ass can opener I had ever used couldn't puncture cans consistently, would get off track, leave uncut sections, and just generally suck completely. I got so fed up replacing them that I went off the deep end researching these things.

My wife got impatient with me. She told me to come back to bed; that can openers weren't this important. That didn't stop me. I was going to put an end to the suck. I read review sites, I visited stores, I called people. After literal days of research, I made my decision.

A can opener doesn't need to be complicated or decked out with fancy features. Fundamentally, the qualities you want are reliability, comfort, build quality, and leverage (i.e. a powerful mechanical advantage).

I didn't buy the OXO. Not a side-cutter (don't get me started). I bought the EZ-Duz-It can opener—an unassuming name for the most brilliant can opener ever built.

It's inexpensive and durable. It securely latches onto cans and glides through them with ease. The knob spins smoothly with little effort. This thing is a dream. Never before have I experienced such a drastic shift in how I felt about a product.

There simply is no other answer.

I have nothing against people that want to use Threads, truly, and I would welcome them to Lemmy. That said, I do draw the line at federating with Threads. I'm here specifically because it's not part of a big company. If anyone wants to enjoy that content, go for it! Just create an account over there.

I agree with this guy. If you keep your sub blacked out, people will just move to other subs or make alternatives. If you open it, you'll be able to advertise Lemmy. Ultimately, that's the only thing that's going to kill Reddit. Lemmy has to grow into a viable competitor and poach Reddit's userbase.

Hell, make automod comment about Lemmy on every submission. Write a set of instructions. Go to xyz URL, make an account, download Liftoff, subscribe to your new community on Lemmy.

I'm glad you're so confident. This is the shit I hated about Reddit—combative for absolutely no reason.

As it happens, I did take this picture. Just because I didn't write out a Wikipedia article about it in the title doesn't mean I wasn't there.

Go look at my post history. One of my first posts is about visiting the UK.
